MFR present visual mnemonic strategies to help students learn sound/symbol relationships quickly and easily. It provides an alternative approach for students who struggle to remember these relationships. Mnemonics are valuable because they provide students with a "hook" on which to hang the information they are working to remember. Once the hook is established, students are then able to work on developing a greater understanding of when and how to use the various sound/symbol correspondences. The MFR visual mnemonic system can be adapted to a variety of reading programs and is useful for parents to use at home or for teachers to use within a classroom group. Older students may only need to work on some of the sounds, usually in sets 2 and 3. Included are 44 8½x11 pictures with sound/symbol relationships in three areas * Set I includes the basic sounds (such as Apple Ed is on umbrella for the 5 short vowel sounds) * Set II includes the common letters that have multiple sounds (such as saw rose for the letter s) * Set III includes common sounds that have multiple spellings (such as the sound /k/, which can be spelled c, k, ck, or ch as in Christopher Cat kisses duck). Purchasing multiple books allows students to each have their own copy for coloring and practice
